There are occasional one-off creative writing events here too - check What's On. \nHealth Issues\n\nIf there are any health issues\, physical\, emotional or mental\, that could affect your participation in a course or event\, please contact the Buddhist Centre on 0161 834 9232\, and ask to talk confidentially to one of our Order members\, before deciding whether to attend.\n\nSupporting the Buddhist Centre\n\nWe rely on the generosity of those who use the centre to help keep it going\, so please join in and give \n

DESCRIPTION:A day of meditation\, discussion and spiritual friendship for women Mitras and Order Members in the Triratna Buddhist Community\, led by Vairocani\, supported by Sarasuvanna and Janet Hill. \nCreative Approaches to the Metta Bhavana\nThe focus will be on finding creative ways to engage with the metta bhavana practice.

There will be three personal talks\, a puja and a chance to spend time together and share what we love. \nThe creative mind loves where there is no reason to love\, is happy where there is no reason for happiness\, creates where there is no possibility of creativity and in this way “builds a heaven in hell’s despair”.\nSangharakshita\, Mind Reactive and Creative \n\nPractical Arrangements\n• Please arrive from 10 am for a 10.30 start in the shrine room\n• No charge\, but please let us know that you’re coming\, by phone\, by email or by booking a free ticket online\, below\n• Please bring vegan food to share for lunch.
